In this commentary on the words of Esther Perel and researcher Brene Brown I delve into how AI is creating a mental health crisis. Not Artificial intelligence but Artificial Intimacy!! Intimacy and Connection are crucial to healthy human expression but our relationships are being co-opted and distorted by social media.

00:00 Intro - why I chose this conversation to comment on - older women are so under-represented
online
03:00 The rise of loneliness in an age of hyper-connectivity
06:00 Ambiguous loss/ counterfeit connection is being in a process of grieving loss whilst simultaneously being with someone
08:25 Traumatisation/ dissociation is the same feeling
09:19 Denies the complexity and messiness of real relationships
10:40 Polarisation and division is driven by this disconnect, lack of friction to create something new. The willingness to engage in 'fierce intimacy' even if you disagree
12:19 Modern loneliness masks as hyper-connectivity - likes and dislikes become the foundation my self-esteem. Feeling like you don't belong anywhere
14:00 Missed bids for connection and compromise are absent in online discussions, commodification, dissociation
16:20 Happenstance, serendipity of spontaneous conversations are absent
17:45 Mental Health crisis - or a reasonable reaction to a dysfunctional society? - see The Myth of Normal by Dr. Gabor Mate. Craving connection our brain will flit around - ADHD!
20:00 The quality of listening shapes what you will share. A mutual exploration.
21:00 Vulnerability is something I work with as a positive attribute. Community group every month a place where we can meet in our own uncertainty and still be loved and heard.
